FIFTH BASEMENT SALE.

The next Special Sale in Basement Department
will occur To-day, Monday, when five hundred
Baskets will be sold at 25 cents each This lot in
cudes all kinds, some large enough for waste pa
per, and others none too large for buttons or small
work basket. Some of them are slightly soiled
others damaged in some manner, so that we do
not like to sell them for perfect goods. They are
all very much less than the usual price and can be
fixed up and trimmed so as to look just as well as
baskets that sell for two three dollars. Sale
will begin this morning in the department down
stairs.

and the Joints at the knees. ankles hips and
wrists are also sometimes affected. The cause of
rheumatism is Tactic acid circulating with the

for rheumatism.
Eight years ago had infiammatory rheuma-
tism being confined TO the bed three months
Last year was laid up six weeks with rheumatic
fever. A short time ago felt pains all over my
body, and thought was In for it again. | then
decided to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. IL has done
me so much good that must say made a good
investment OF one dollar in medicine for the first
time. 1t has driven off the rheumatism and inn
proved my appetite so much that my boarding
mistress says must keep 1t locked up or she will
be obliged to raise my board with every other
boarder that takes Hoods Sarsaparilla.n -THoM-

The New Tariff, Quaker,
First National, Grove
land, Atkinson, To-
ken, Denver and
New Grove
land,

but the stoves which we like to sell, and which we
Will back for all we are worth against all corners,
are the Quaker and New Tariff. OF course these
stoves are little higher priced than others, but
they are fully worth 1t, being made Of better
grades In iron, smoother finish. and possessing
more improvements than any other range now
manufactured in the New England States. All
we ask is, when You send us yonr order, send US
the height of the hole in the wall from the floor,
and we win send you stove complete, ready to set
up. We go further than this,-we will sell you
Parlor Stove or a Range for cash. or for So or $40
down at the time you order and the balance by
the week or month and we charge you no inter
est. That we have made a reduction in the
prices, you viii see when you come to write us
Tor cuts and prices. We do this because OF the
enormous sale which our ranges are having, and
the larger the SALE the less profit we require to
run our business. and satisfy us for the years
work. The price we have marked on these goods
will hold good until further notice. One thing
further we wish to say, If there are any who are
skeptcal as to the quality of the goods we HANDLE
we will ship any Range or Parlor Stove which we
consider first class in every particular, without
any money accompanying the order and, II they
are not just as we claim, they can be returned to
at our expense. A fairer offer we don't know how
to make. Let us hear from you.

Mr.. Rich said that too much of the capital OF
Maine has gone South and West, while 1t has
been s0rely needed at home. He has been as
sured by foreign shippers there must be greater
storage capacity here. The floating elevator ad-
vocated by Gen. Anderson would be very useful,
but at the same time we need more storage. he
had been told by the managers OF the steamship
lines that they would be glad to run four times as
MANY steamers as they have run, If there was
sufficient storage In his Judgment If Portland
had the storage capacity of the city of Boston,
IL would be tested to its full extent with
in two years. Mr.. Rich said that it Will
great lines OF steamers. Their place
would be but poorly supplied by tramp" steam
ers coming here to take such freight as may come
over the Grand Trunk. 1t is to be hoped In view
of the expression of this meeting that Mr.. Hck-
son may relent, and the lines remain.
Mr.. Rich spoke In an interesting way OF the ne
cessity Of fostering the manufactures OF Portland
II should be possible to build the bulls OF vessels
here One steamer, the first Of its size is to be
built here next summer and the prospect is that
the Portland Company will be full OF work. MT.
Rich referred to the Importance OF the granite
business of the State, as yet hardly developed:
Tae city of Portland and vicinity has the hnest
summer resorts of the state, fact too often for
gotten. The Cape shore offers advantages not TO
be overlooked.
The audience by this time had thinned
out, and the hour of eleven had arrived, SO

the proceedings until the next supper OF the
Board of Trade.
